I am a passionate Registered Dental Hygienist and Myofunctional Therapist. With a deep commitment to advocate for oral health and overall well-being, I strive to highlight the importance of dental hygiene to my patient's overall systemic health. Through my education and experience as a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist, I have explored the fascinating connections between oral health and function, and general health. At the end of the day, your mouth is the opening to your body, its health determines the rest of your health!

Through my work, I aim to help individuals achieve healthier and more functional smiles that lead to a better quality of life. Join me as I share insights, tips and stories from my profession!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, cooking, cuddling with my cats, and binge watching TV shows with my husband!

According to the CDHO, dental hygienists are regulated health professionals that specialize in preventing oral diseases and promoting oral health. Dental hygienists in Ontario can choose to work independently in their private practices, or work alongside dentists.

Myofunctional therapists are health care providers with additional training to administer myofunctional therapy programs to patients who need them. Myofunctional therapy, according to Dr. Soroush Zaghi, is a program characterized by a set of exercises to improve breathing, bite and orofacial muscles.
